WhatsApp does not show up

[hakito]

I installed whatsapp desktop, but for whatever reason it does not show up.

I tried refresh catalog, but it didn't work.

Any errors in the keypirinha console (Hotkey: F2)? for me it works just fine if I run "Keypirinha: Refresh Catalog: WindowsApps" after installing

I see the following in the log:

Are you sure you're using the most recent version of the package? This error looks a lot like #12, which should be fixed. Try reinstalling via PackageControl or download the current version from here https://github.com/ueffel/Keypirinha-WindowsApps/releases/latest and install manually.

At least when I try to update I get this in the log:

Can you open a Powershell and run this command

chcp 65001 >$null; Get-AppxPackage | ConvertTo-Json > $env:TEMP\out.json; echo $env:TEMP\out.json

and upload the file that is generated here?

It will contain the output of installed Windows Apps that the plugin uses. There must be something wrong with it on your system and I need to take a look at it to figure out wants going wrong

[hakito]

In case the log contains sensitive data I mailed it directly to you instead of uploading here.

[ueffel]

sigh Powershell does not have any consistent encoding handling... The file you mailed be is utf16-le encoded, the initial error you posted is an ü encoded as cp850 and read as utf-8. Well at least I found out which installed app causes the error:

        "Name":  "Smallpdf",
        "Publisher":  "CN=Smallpdf AG, O=Smallpdf AG, L=Zürich, S=Zürich, C=CH, SERIALNUMBER=CHE-461.243.982, OID.1.3.6.1.4.1.311.60.2.1.2=Zürich, OID.1.3.6.1.4.1.311.60.2.1.3=CH, OID.2.5.4.15=Private Organization",    

The ü in Zürich should be the problem.

I tried installing this app myself but the only SmallPDF app I found produces this for me

        "Name":  "SmallpdfAG.Smallpdf",
        "Publisher":  "CN=620E293E-26F8-4693-B472-4498B3045DBF",

So german umlaut, no problem :/

Can you try putting this file in your InstalledPackages directory and rename it to "WindowsApps.keypirinha-package" (replace the existing file) WindowsApps.zip

It contains a slightly modified powershell call in an attempt to fix the problem.

[hakito]

Yes now it works!

[ueffel]

Weird. Alrighty new release is out.
